The four-episode Samurai X original animation video captures the mixture of swordplay and poetry that makes Japanese warrior culture so intriguing to viewers on both sides of the Pacific. The OAV series serves as a prequel to both Samurai X: The Movie and the more lighthearted TV series. The action unfolds in 1864, when a few clans began the revolt that would overthrow the military dictatorship of the Tokugawa Shogunate and return power to the Emperor in the Meiji Restoration of 1868. Shinta, a lonely orphan, is transformed by master swordsman Hiko into Kenshin Himura, an assassin in the service of Katsuga, one of the revolutionary leaders. Kenshin kills whomever Katsuga orders with consummate skill and unshatterable calm. He believes he is using his sword to bring about a better world, even as the intrigues and counter-intrigues escalate. But he becomes aware of unspoken doubts when he meets Tomoe, a mysterious girl whose beauty, like the iris, is seen to best advantage in cloudy weather. Director Kazuhiro Furuhashi choreographs the sword fights with a grace that infuses even scenes of extreme violence with an elegant sensuality: in one striking image, he focuses on the rain washing a spatter of blood from Tomoe's cheek. The dialogue in the English translation often sounds stilted, but the words are usually superfluous. Furuhashi's ability to present a story visually has made Samurai X a popular anime property in America and Japan. Unrated; suitable for ages 18 and up for explicit violence. --Charles Solomon

Customer Reviews of Samurai X - Trust (Rurouni Kenshin)

Master Piece
I'm a big fan of Rouroni Kenshin (the manga series, and I was bit hegitant to get this DVD when I saw its cover graphic. It wasn't that convincing for me to get this but bought it anyway. And to tell you the truth, I have watched it at least 5 or 6 times since then because of its high production value. This DVD stretches the flashback that Kenshin is having in the manga series, and not only it has stretched the flashback with style but perfected with mesmerizing storyline along with music score. I put 'mesmerizing' here to describe storyline, but in fact there's not much of change from the manga series. It merely shows how Kenshin has become from being a formidable swordman to an assasin, but the way they have presented the story, it's very like melodrama. I would say the best feature of this DVD comes from unrivaled cinematography and music that raises the whole story to the level where it can compete with anime like Ghost in the Shell and Mononoke Hime. If you are looking for lot of action and sword fighting, then this one's not for you. However, whether you like Kenshin or not, this one's definitely not to be missed by anyone. Masterpiece, Period.


Meji Era Kenshin.
[ The same guy from Rurouni Kenshin, but before his no-killing days. ]

This anime is one of the best i know of. Of course i'm just saying that, but you get that feeling after watching a lot of Anime... at least i do. And i guess it's a successful anime if you can say that about it right after watching it.

Genre: Action, Samurai. Its second title is Romantic Tales of the Meji. While leads one to believe these are romantic tales... which they are. But the first disk isn't all that romantic... the second disk may be.

ArtStyle: I'm a casual Anime viewer and i can say that i have never seen art style similar to this one... though they look like so many art styles i just can't put my finger on a similar one. Realistic, no funny faces or odd features. Dark.

Gore: Blood, killing, sword fights.

The first disc, this one, is about a boy named Kenshin, you see him as a young child. Now this is not about Kenshin from the Ruroni Kenshin TV series... by no means, he kills in these. So you see him as this great fighter who no one can beat. But he finds this woman one night who catches the end of a battle he was in, and gets rained on by some of blood from Kenshin's opponent.

The second disk is about what happens after disc one (of course) but it focuses on the Woman a lot too. The second disc, Betrayal is a must buy, it is a very powerful, if you are a Kenshin fan.

These two Dics tell you how Kenshin got the Cross shaped scar on his face. It'll make you think about it the next time you see another episode of Ruroni Kenshin.

I recommend this to any Anime Fan, beware the second disc those that are big action fans. Oddly enough, as different as the art may be, the voices are the same as the TV series.


He probably was a samurai...
If he wasnt a samurai, like one of the previous earlier posts suggests, why was he permitted to adorn the two swords? this is not allowed in society if he was not a retainer.
